The

Ireland women's cricket team toured Pakistan in November 2022 to play three Women's One Day Internationals (WODIs) and three Women's Twenty20 Internationals (WT20Is).[1][2] All of the matches were played at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore.[3] The WODI matches formed part of the 2022–2025 ICC Women's Championship.[4][5] This was the first time that a senior Ireland national team has played a series in Pakistan.[6][7] Going into the series, Pakistan held a record of 12 wins from 18 WODI matches against Ireland, and the last time the two sides met in the format was in February 2017.[8]

Pakistan won the first match of the ODI series by 128 runs on the back of a record 221-run opening partnership by Sidra Ameen and Muneeba Ali.[9] The hosts also won the second match, this time by a margin of 9 wickets, with Sidra Ameen scoring an unbeaten 91.[10] Ireland put up an improved performance in the third ODI, but a five-wicket haul by Ghulam Fatima led Pakistan to a 5-wicket victory and a 3–0 series sweep.[11] Sidra Ameen was named player of the series.[12]

Ireland won the first T20I by six wickets.[13] Pakistan levelled the series after winning the second T20I, which had been reduced to 17 overs per side due to rain.[14] Ireland won the decisive third T20I to claim an historic 2–1 series victory.[15] This was the first series win for Ireland women against Pakistan and their first series win away against any Test-playing nation.[16] Gaby Lewis was named player of the series.[17]
